How to Measure for Custom Made Cushions
The most important thing to remember when measuring for new cushions is to measure the furniture you will be using the cushions on, not the existing cushions. Over time, fabric will stretch or "sag" in the wash and lose its shape, so if we take measurements from your existing cushions, your new ones may not fit as perfectly as you would like.
